Clothes Previewer and Free, Open Source Skins

Here is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to make their own clothes and
skins. I've combined open-source skins by
Eloh Eliot with the open
source SL Clothes Previewer by Johan Durant of www.newarteest.com, and I've also updated the Clothes
Previewer to use high-rez open-source templates. It works on Windows and
Macintosh, and runs on Linux under wine.

Once you have downloaded and unzipped the files, run the SLCP program. You
will see the updated previewer:

The templates will show at startup. To change to a clothing set, follow
these steps:

1. Click the button labeled "HEAD.JPG" and browse to a face
texture. I chose starlight_face.jpg.

2. You should see the face appear with skin textures.,

3. Repeat with the Upper and Lower buttons,

4. You can toggle the skirt template on and off, too, and overwrite the
texture with your own skirt texture.

5. I've included an open-source set of jeans and a tank top.
Click the button below the buttons you pushed before, and add the shirt texture.

You can zoom in and out by CTRL-clicking, SHIFT-Click to pan, or just
left-click to rotate and view each area of your avatar. There are also
handy buttons at the bottom right to let you zoom in to each piece.

The little 'Re' button on the right is Refresh. Fire up your
favorite paint program, edit the included template, jeans or shirt, and save
them.. Then press RE for an instant refresh!
